A and E Ii

(CASUALTY EXTENDED MIX) Surrealistic walls were my horizon an oppressive ceiling my opaque sky. An angel came to comfort me she even affords me a candid smile. Within deep brown eyes a sparkle content my hand in her’s to lie! Her devotion with the needle took away the bloom from my face. Southern comfort in “Middlemore” The true meaning of life’s race! Many years I guess I’ve wondered if a moment like this to transpire. A dress rehearsal for abolition heavenly ticket to hire? My worldly domain surrounds me illusions of hopefully “What is right.” It took only an instant to convince me that night! Living is just a predicament in which one just plays a role. Yet here in casualty a halfway house to console. Ethical, malign ne’er questioned No! Discrimination here. Just an awesome labyrinth of diffusion within an earthly pier! © Harry J Horsman 1998 A True story Middlemore Hospital South Auckland New Zealand I walked into there off the street with an heart attack. I was a lucky one i guess?

I am glad that you survived and told about in the form of poetry..A few years back I had something called TIA..The doctor said that it is the same as a heart attack but of the brain..God just protected me..It only lasted a short time maybe 30 to 40 minutes or less and I was not left with brain damage..Usually when a person has one a major stroke happens with a year of the TIA but a second stroke has not happened..Sara
